The factory located in Izhesvk, Russia is referred to today as Baikal (Kalashnikov Concern). Click here for a little of their history.
They make lots of stuff - from cars to guns. A pellet gun family they produce has a strong similarity to their AK-47. Click here for that family and here for a U.S, supplier of the IZH-60 for only $79.95!
While lots of folks joke about pellet guns, consider the availability and cost of pellets and the fun plus ability to help maintain your weapons proficiency in your urban backyard or even your home's basement.
I still have a box of phone books (remember them?) in the basement for a pellet gun backstop.
